** MAKE A DIFFERENCE
------------------------------------------------------------

Dear John,

We need your help during human trafficking awareness and prevention month. Lisa Montgomery is scheduled for execution next Tuesday. Lisa's story is too common and many survivors after years of abuse are failed by our criminal justice system.
* Reading Lisa's Story
* Sign the petition

Together we must seek justice for survivors who have experienced abuse. Every day at WTP we are trying to prevent stories like Lisa's from ever happening. Unite with us to make a change.
In Solidarity,
Kyra Doubek
Executive Director & Survivor Leader
